DBKL is questioning why work on 80% of building projects approved since September 2015 have yet to be started

ABOUT 170 developers who have obtained development orders (DO) from Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) for their projects risk losing their deposit worth millions of ringgit if they fail to start construction in the next six months.

Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Mohd Amin Nordin Abd Aziz said the DOs were awarded in September last year, and until August this year, over 80% had yet to start work.

“In fact projects are supposed to commence within six months after the DO is awarded, but many failed to start work and we have already warned them that if they fail to start work within the next six months they risk losing the 50% discount on DO charges given last year, and we will also withdraw the DO,” he added.

DBKL, he said, would be strict as it did not want developers to end up selling off the projects.

“We want them to prove to us that they will start work as agreed,” he said.

Last September, property developers were given a 50% discount on development charges for DBKL projects.

The offer was served as an incentive to encourage developers to continue building the city despite the slow economy.

“We gave them a hefty discount but we will take it back if they take it for granted,’’ Amin Nordin said, adding that the discount can range between RM500,000 to RM68mil depending on the project value.

A: On my own – www.jefferylam.com, as a Malaysia Real Estate Blogger

That’s the typical answer to my neighbours when I sit in the Press / Media Table…

The interesting part of becoming a Malaysian Speaker

by Jeffery Lam

One of the “Interesting” and “Funny” part when becoming a Speaker in Malaysia is that, sometimes the organiser will ask you – “Jeffery, can you deliver the speech in both language ah? As in mixture of both Chinese and English, maybe 70% Chinese then 30% English. Because the audiences mostly prefer Chinese but some can only understand English”….

So meaning, I have to be a “Rojak” Speaker lahhhh! Should my PPT in English or Chinese then? Should I speak more in Chinese or English, I don’t know, not until the day when I see the crowds and ask them prefer me to speak in which language….

Because some Chinese, don’t read and speak Chinese, aka “Banana Man”  While some Chinese totally can’t read and speak English too, aka “China Man”….

Sometimes (Only Sometimes OK), I asked myself, should I be better a pure “Banana Man” or “China Man” instead? At least I don’t have to bother or headache when people ask you to give a talk, they either engage you as an English Speaker or Chinese Speaker, more clear cut….

Rather than now, I am the so called “Rojak Man”

Sadly truth facts, but I love how these few languages blended into my Speaking Life

玩赚马六甲，要看 EyesMap Malacca！

先来一段语音分享。要看文字的可以直接往下拉！谢谢！

玩赚马六甲，要看EyesMap
2014年底，我仿佛意识到马六甲会在2015年有新的进展与突破。于是，我把一些想法和构思拿出来与Eyes 团队分享。我说，我每次来马六甲都要启动手机上的谷歌地图才能找到我想去的地方。有时要去一些小区，我根本没有方向感，也不懂要往东南西北哪个方位前进。有时要去见发展商或看一些楼盘，GPS里也找不到。我就习惯了去槟城，在吉隆坡或去依斯干达的时候，手上终会拿着一份地图，感觉会更实在一些，偏偏马六甲就没有这东西！一气之下，就和Eyes团队提议不如我们来搞第一个马六甲专业的房地产地图。

1600纸熊猫来了！！你去看了吗？

by Jeffery Lam

1600熊猫世界之旅–马来西亚站

1600纸熊猫之旅是以“启动创意保育的文化”为主题，并会在西马半岛的15个标志性建筑展出长达1个月之久，鼓吹人们响应环保和保育。这些纸熊猫是由一位法国艺术家–保罗格兰金所创造，旨在传达动物保护信息，推广濒临绝种动物保育的观念，呼吁民众齐心协力保护猫熊。也因为全球熊猫剩下大约1600只，所以熊猫之父希望以此方法将这项信息带给大众。

1600只纸熊猫如今已游历世界7个国家和地区的100多个地方。半岛的展出地点包括雪州黑风洞、霹雳太平湖、马六甲红屋广场、吉隆坡国家纪念碑、槟城张弼士故居、安顺斜塔等地，仅开放2小时供参观。熊猫大马巡回之旅的压轴地点是今年的1月13至25日在吉隆坡Publika购物中心，“完整版”的1600只纸熊猫将连续展出两周。

昨天（06/01/2015），小编去了马六甲红屋广场 去看了那些可爱的纸熊猫！虽然是纸熊猫，可是却做得惟妙惟肖，仿佛真的熊猫在你面前萌萌的看着你，给你拍照！只是有点小遗憾的是，当天只是展出 400纸熊猫，因为怕天不作美下雨破坏了纸熊猫。可是还是有大约5000名观众前往马六甲红屋广场看这些纸熊猫。

人山人海啊！！纸熊猫魅力真大！
